3D - 2

Can you market computer models as "virtual goods"?

Ever since I was a little boy, I've been dreaming about having my own mega company, producing space ships and submarines and cars and what have you, with me as the sole designer. Now, with 3D CAD modelling and people screaming "virtual goods business!" from various corners of the cosmos, I'm beginning to wonder if, maybe, my dreams are about to come true. I'd just be building computer models of all those vehicles, rather than real ones; but then what? Can I flog them off in some virtual world? Second Life, maybe? What format would they need to be in for that? I currently use Rhino3D, Solidworks, and Wavefront Alias for my models. I suppose those models would need to be animated in some way to be of interest - how can I link that into the workings of 2nd Life?
